Abstract

Since the territorial defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), debates and questions on what states should do
(individually and or collectively) with foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs) from their countries have become more relevant yet
controversial. This article critically investigates whether states of origin have an obligation to repatriate ISIS FTFs under
international law as well as what options are available for such countries in dealing with returning ISIS fighters based on a
human rights approach. This article also highlights that the current international legal framework is generally moving toward
the repatriation of FTFs for the purpose of prosecution and rehabilitation. While states have taken diverse and controversial
approaches in dealing with fighters who wish to return, the option to repatriate and fairly prosecute them in their countries
of origin is seen as the most comprehensive and preferred approach, not only for the countries of origin but also for the
international community as a whole in the long term.
